Research Proposal 3

This will be the last entry of my academic blog until the end of May. I think I will not have a time to write anything down. I did my initial research according to my topic. I chose my methodology. I only need to write them. Maybe this is the easy part of this journey. As I state in the beginning, In addition to captain's log. We have only one day to escape from this planet.

Research Proposal 2

I found more or less 20 articles about my topic this weekend but it is so difficult to search the literature. I know that I should do my initial research beforehand but I could not find time to study for research Proposal after Easter Holiday. By the end of Sunday Night I completed 1250 words which comprise the introduction and the background of the European Capital of Culture City events. I started to read articles. I am also worrying about my methodology. I know that we have only 38 hours to complete this assignment. Hopefully I will be happy at the end of these 38 hours.

Research Proposal 1

I started to prepare the literature review of my Dissertation topic. I am struggling to find relevant literature according to my topic. There is not much information about the European culture of capital City event. Every city has own websites but the event does not have its own website. I am thinking to explain this situation as a benefit form y research but it seems to me really difficult.

I try to collect 20 relevant journals which include the mega events, the socio cultural outcomes and The European capital of culture city event.

I found a journal form Google scholarship. “The European Cultural Capital Event: Strategic Weapon in the Cultural Arms Race?” the journal looks like beneficial form e because the main discussion is how the ECOC events changed to tourism tool.

Hopefully I will manage to find more information and improve my dissertation proposal in these last few days.
